@@buttrockman4578 it's not to prevent splicing, but to prevent seeding. if you mod your game to seed runs, starting a new game will be on the same seed.
@@atom6486 Show's it's not a seed as the starting level is different, and if it wasn't. Something else would be. (Starting mobs, Landing location, layout etc)
You know, now that I think about it... For a game that is centralized around beating it within a timeframe by nature... This is the first Speedrun I have seen of this.
@@ShiningDarknes Jeah but that hasn't stopped speedrunners before tho. I mean there are some ridiculous categories for Platformers like Mario Odyssey (like a run to get the speedo the quickest) or Metroid...
And there it is, the beginning of proper ROR2 speedrunning. This game has a TON of speedrunning potential for the sheer amount of categories and I cannot wait to see how far it will go :)
sadly it has literally to none potential just because there is only one legit tactic. get the lunar items to speed up the teleporter. thats it. even the last bossfight is the fastest with loader.
@@AndreOliveira-bw2np The game has not had a true ending though. Obliteration technically kills you so while that was the target since that was all we had in early access the game now has an actual ending for any% purposes. unfortunately these first amazing runs are essentially invalid because Hopoo decided to make the boss have an invulnerability state before the last phase so this strat is no longer possible. It is still possible to get a better time but it would require way more rng.
He has the artifact that removes chests and makes enemies drop items, he has almost no use for money at all. Crowdfunder is actually really strong in that scenario.
Just want to point out that getting energy drinks over 1x stack over hoofs is sub optimal because that 16% speed gets multiplied to 20.6% while running
and depicted, is the biggest flaw and greatest thing about ror2 over ror1. with the exception of miner (who nobody remembers), every character in ror1 was limited and relied on their ability to run or use i frames. in ror2, the levels are larger and acrid has a gun now
Admiral: okay commando, you've been briefed on the mission, and you're great is set to go, God spee- *loader walks in covered in barbed wire * Loader: yea, there's nothing down there Everyone: *visible confusion *
this run would actually be 5th on the current any% leaderboard, we switched to a loadless timing method meaning this would be a 8:48 with the wr being 8:26 and my pb being 8:32
I'd like to know, what was that part at the very end where it looks like you're going the wrong way for a second and then the game teleports you to the end? It was kinda cool and I'd like to know how that works
when you fall off the map the game tries to put you back in a logical spot. if you punch all the way out there the game will think you fell from the initlal platform somehow and put you back there. i still have to explore to see how early i can fall for it to warp me to the beginning though
@@skelet8337 it doesn't always do that, for example in this spot ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fd8_Aqjhp5g.html which i used in a prismatic trial
@@Cabbage123 I noticed that it puts you on the closest platform. I often cheese the way to mithrix by dropping down from the main bridge onto the small crevice, walk up as much as I can and then fall to spawn on the final platform before boss. I do that when i want to avoid the creeps on the bridge or when I run immobile survivors
It would be filled with RNG, on top of the RNG this run already has with the lunar shop, Sacrifice drops and teleporter placements. Nobody would want to run it.
Oh God. So glad they fixed that boss cheese. Pretty impressively fast run though still! (I'm gonna look for monsoon speed runs though... Drizzle is a joke)
monsoon speedruns are actually the exact same except for the first stage, where you can't get hit as much or you die. you 1shot everything because of the artifact of glass, not because it's on drizzle instead of monsoon
@@Cabbage123 really, even the last boss with the exploit being fixed? Its just a bit more impressive is all... cuz i can easily beat this game on drizzle, but me and my friend (I pretty much always play 2 player with my buddy) are still trying to beat that bastard on monsoon. I guess ill have to wait a while cuz I cant find any mithrix speed runs on monsoon :/ Edit: ayyy i found one! Lol. A 25ish minute run. Id call that far from the exact same bro lol.
@@danm2084 i know it's the exact same because i got a 9:03 on monsoon. i didn't upload it because there's no category for it on speedrun.com and as i already said, it's the exact same. what makes this run unimpressive isn't that it's on drizzle, it's that i have a bunch of artifacts enabled which makes the game really easy
@@Cabbage123 ahhh i see. Was it from before the boss exploit got fixed too? Is that not really even an issue either cuz you can just kill him really fast when he gets out of invincibility? Cuz it seems like it wouldnt be possible to do it nearly as fast on monsoon now just cuz of how much health the boss has and how it takes your items (but ofc ill take your word for it if its still just as easy, as im just a pleb) Thats the real thing I look forward to in future runs.. people dealing with mithrix without being able to cheese him.
I feel like purity is overlooked in speedrunning, 3 of them and you cut your cool down for loader all the down to 1 SECOND for his third we giant let and grapple. It should be a must imo instead of having to stack back up mag, you could use them for more movement spd
@@mrgenry6055 there are 5 items in the shop now, allowing for 3 focused convergence, 1 purity, 1 helfire tincture. Other speedrunners than Cabbage do take purity
i would personally never run a category without artifacts unless lunars are also not allowed. because of focused convergence, any run which does not get 3 of them in the first bazaar would be an instant reset. that's a bit too much rng for my liking
you could make this slightly faster by selecting a goat's hoof and a boss rounds on stage 5, you'd get more sprinting move speed from 1 energy and 1 hoof and the boss rounds would shave off 3 or 4 seconds on the 2nd phase of mithrix
Amazing run. Only improvement I could see was letting that balzing jelly hit you on stage 4 to proc some razor ticks, otherwise super well done my man.
I was curious about some of the artifacts you have for this run. Like, soul, and dissonance. Would you be able to tell me the reasons behind some of them, how they help the time and such? Super curious
@@Cabbage123 Thank ye! Next question, should there be a category prohibiting Loader? Seeing as she's literally the only character you would ever pick otherwise.
@@bipolarmaniac116 that's not really my decision to make. i personally wouldn't be interested because other characters would require a ton of rng in terms of item drops for speed, hardlight afterburner etc. but i suppose others might find it fun
